I have an peacock, now 5years old, in my garden. He arrived with some females who left him the same year and he has been alone since. He is now adult.

He has never had a mate, and I think is yearning for one.

When is the best time to introduce female to him, how can I keep the females with him?

It is best to keep them penned up for a while and then let one at a time out and switch back and forth.. The best time for him would be in the fall but about any time if they are penned. Hens running loose have a great possibility of nesting and something eating them.. good luck
